Recent Full Draw Pics
« on: August 26, 2010, 05:22:00 AM »
Last night I posted Full Draw pics I've been promising to do (in various threads) all this past week. Just befor retiring, I added 9 (count 'em, nine) Full Draws, to my Traditional Bows Drawn section, of my personal (non-commercial) web site, on Page 21 (I'll soon be moving to page 22). That means there are, on those 21 pages 1,250 Full Draw pics of some of your favorite friends and bows from the traditional archery world. Check it out - start with page 21 or from page 1 but plan to spend some time browsing through the thumbnails (60 per page) and (linked) full size pics. Nothing is any more beautiful or facinating than a Traditional Bow and archer at Full Draw - IMO.

You can use the little house (home pages link to my Index Page) at the top of my posts and go to the opening page and sub-index of those pages, or start here and browse/jump around at your leisure. Y'ALL COME, Y"HEAR?:

Hi Bernie,
super and fascinating photos!
Had to copy the one with the little boy in the big cowboy boots.
Would like to send you a full draw photo of my daughter Maria. Sorry i'm not electronically skilled enough to upload it here onto the website.
Keep on shooting (hopefully not only photos),

Bernd

Thank you Rudy and Bernd. The little boy in the boots father said that his hero is the cowboy from Toy Story and he wears the boots everywhere even though they are too large - LOL. By all means, any Full Draw Pics (and whatever facts you wish or do not wish to accompany them) are welcome. They can be e-mailed to me - I can resize them smaller (but larger tends to grain your pics so I seldom attempt to enlarge), or PM them here at trad gang. Or even snail mail if you need to - just ask for my home address by e-mail or PM.

Gotta go now and put up a couple of my own FDs from this past week that I forgot all about -     :knothead:      :goldtooth:

awesome!  I agree.  Its incredible to see all the variation in style!  Those three finger guys always make me afraid that they're going to break the bow.  looks so odd to me.  Keep it up guys, that was fun to see.

heres a couple of mine...

Looking forward to it, Sal. I used to own a PSE (ahem - of the "other kind" though come to think of it - LOL)

That'll be neat, Sal - get a FD pic of that too, when she does. (Course you/she can use any arrow for the pic.)

Having computer troubles from a new security program  so my contact may be scketchy for a few days til I get it resolved.  :rolleyes:    :bigsmyl:   drive me crazy!

Thanks so much to all of you, both, for the kind comments and the pics. When I get my computer issues cleared up (hopefully today or tomorrow) I will post these latest FDs.

Pon, you will have the "honor" of starting off Page 22 w/ your greetings from Mexico.

Kenneth, some folks are just a little slower than others - LOL. I'll still be glad to get it.

John, that means a lot that you would find time to view it in this busy period of time for you  - what with all the new Slim Jim quiver orders at Kanti and all - I seriously mean that.

Spectre, I remember them too and thanks for the pic.

Joe Skip - it's good to "see" you - LOL - nice Camo "field" pics.

All in all a nice input of interesting shots - they will help add desireable variety to the Traditional Bows Drawn pages of my site. I hope, helping to make the pages a joyful source of reference for many years after we are all too far gone to make it to Full Draw - LOL. Thank you all so much, bless your hearts.

Bernie I'd like to say "Thank you!" for building something that will become a historical record.

I bet that it will be shared by many right up to the day that "He" returns... and "He" will return.

Prayerfully
God bless,Mudd

LOL - OK I'll do that (some folks don't care for their real names to be used so I am a little careful if I'm not at least "cyber familiar" with them). I do like to use both handle and name as often as possible, so thank you. I'll add those at my very next posting (or before).    :thumbsup:
